October 24, 2014 -- Tamil Nadu Birds

Hi all

Our birding in Tamil Nadu was certainly a success! We've now seen 3 of the possible 7 kingfishers. Painted storks are always welcome (looks like Ma 'n Pa out for a stroll), the Indian Roller is an old friend from before, Asian Openbill is new as is the Thick-billed Crow feasting on a dead dog (yum). The 3 birds on one tree (Brahminy, Kingfisher and Chukar) were amazing - we didn't realize what we were seeing at first. The focus is blurry because they were at the edge of the range of my camera - ah well.
